My neck is always tense.

chris_poel Posts: 8 Joined: 2003/02/04	2003/02/04, 11:39 AM I ride a sporty motorcycle (CBR600) rather than drive a car and know that this puts strain on my neck - from the crouched position. I also have lifted weights to increase my size for going on 3 years now. I began training when I was 8 stone and am now 13 (without powders, I'm too poor). My neck is always tense and in need of a massage and good elbowing, but I was wondering if there were specific stretches I could do to prevent the back of my neck and tops of shoulders from always being so god damned tense? Any help, any advice - it's all welcome. Don't tell me I need a massage though, because again the poorness comes into it. I need a way of training that doesn't leave me a situation where I'm half a twang away from pulling one of the muscles running down my spine.. All the best, and as this is my first post I have to say that this website is a godsend. Proper advice from clever people, not the scoffs of muscle monkeys in the gym! Chris
